The State Infrastructure Strategy (the Strategy) will identify the State’s infrastructure needs and priorities, and is the foundation for Infrastructure WA’s (IWA) advice to the State Government. It will address a 20 year timeframe and be refreshed at least every five years.
Publication of a state-wide infrastructure strategy has not been completed before in WA. The Strategy will address a broad range of social, economic and environmental objectives to make recommendations relating to infrastructure planning, prioritisation and decision-making.
The Strategy’s recommendations will focus on new infrastructure projects, programs and non-build solutions (for example, strategic planning, policy, regulatory, pricing, technology, procurement, skills and governance reforms). Where appropriate, the Strategy will also include recommendations relating to funding and financing infrastructure.
